April 24, 20188 yr Those RBIs are fool's gold. He's hit .237 with a .291 OBP with runners in scoring position for his career. They'd be better off with anyone in the 4-5 spots in the lineup. 30 homer guys with his BA and OBP are a dime a dozen right now. Maybe, but you cant win games without RBI's, no matter how they come.
April 24, 20188 yr 30 homer guys with his BA and OBP are a dime a dozen right now. I'd argue they're actually quite rare. Most guys with those numbers end up on the scrap heap. :lol2: But, I agree with what you're saying.
April 24, 20188 yr Maybe, but you cant win games without RBI's, no matter how they come. That kind of batting average with runners in scoring position will lose you more games than it will win you. He got those RBI totals due to the volume of at bats he had with runners on. Last year Gennett hit .349 with a .386 OBP with runners in scoring position. How much better off would they have been with him batting cleanup?
April 24, 20188 yr Similar numbers to Votto and $24,355,000.00 less in payroll. Duvall lead every NL player in at bats with runners in scoring position last year - 162 at bats 63 RBIs. He hit .235/.274/.414 Votto had 97 with 60 RBIs and hit .371/.565/.660 So yeah, as usual not even close.

April 24, 20188 yr :lol2: Schebler not in the lineup tonight. There has to be some reason for that. What is Riggleman looking at that tells him to sit Schebler tonight?
April 24, 20188 yr There has to be some reason for that. What is Riggleman looking at that tells him to sit Schebler tonight? Bryan Price's manager notes? Seriously though, there's no logical excuse for playing scrubs like Duvall and Hamilton every single day. They shouldn't be on a major league roster let alone play every day.
April 24, 20188 yr Votto, Schebler, Winker, Gennett, Suarez (once he returns), and Barnhart should play every day. Ervin should play 4-5 days a week. It shouldn't be this difficult.
April 24, 20188 yr Bryan Price's manager notes? Seriously though, there's no logical excuse for playing scrubs like Duvall and Hamilton every single day. They shouldn't be on a major league roster let alone play every day. I wonder if that 4 man outfield rotation is a front office directive?
April 24, 20188 yr @Reds The #Reds have returned from a rehab assignment and activated from the 10-day disabled list RHP Kevin Shackelford. RHP Kevin Quackenbush has been designated for assignment.
